Serie A: Napoli manager expects Osimhen to defend title


Napoli manager Walter Mazzarri wants Victor Osimhen to return to his best form as soon as possible after the Nigerian secured a 2-1 away win against Atalanta on Saturday night.

Osimhen came off the bench and led Elf Elmas to the winning goal at Bergamo’s Jewis Stadium.

It was the Serie A champions’ striker’s first goal since injuring his hamstring during international duty last month.

Mazzarri had kind words for the talismanic striker when he took over the Serie A champions last week.

“I didn’t have to be Napoli manager to know that Osimhen is a good striker, because I watched him play!”

“Fortunately he’s back and I hope he gets back on track as soon as possible,” he said.

The 24-year-old has scored six goals in nine appearances for Napoli this season.
